    Issue Updating to Plesk to 18.0.74 says mail users have wrong password - what are "mail users"?

    Hi Thanks for working through this. Updates are that we have set the email accounts to "Hashed" in the Security Policy settings. We have migrated a new account across from the old server ( WHM ).

    Resolved Domain (SSH) user can see other directories

    Jeeeebus Christ, you'd think that Plesk Devs would document this gapping hole in their SSH setup (like somewhere highlighted here: (Plesk for Linux) Enabling SSH Access for Website Users ) rather than having to trawl through support forum posts when this issue is discovered. TLDR: - To change...

    Issue Updating to Plesk to 18.0.74 says mail users have wrong password - what are "mail users"?

    UPDATE: @yspirin One of the domains highlighted has only a single mailbox, re-entering the password for this mailbox via the Plesk UI and restarting Postfix / SMTP does not remove this domain from the list outlined in the documentation. Next steps?

    Issue Updating to Plesk to 18.0.74 says mail users have wrong password - what are "mail users"?

    @yspirin thanks; so the listing from the documentation is for ALL email addresses under each named account? Can you confirm that replacing the password in the field here (with the same plaintext password) will NOT effect the end user logging in to their emails?

    Question Some server domain email accounts accept encrypted passwords, others do not - why? Appears to be some obscure setting in a service plan?

    @Sebahat.hadzhi further, it appears as far as we can tell to be an issue for emails imported via the Plesk Migrator. Email accounts created natively on the server seem to be ok. I have set both emails to the same subscriber (Administrator) and the issue remains (although didn't restart server or...
